reverend SeiypiOrs"

At the dead hour of midnight. when
churchyards yawn and graves give up
their sheeted ghosts, the dismal time was
made more horrible by the knowledge
that the PALATKA NEWS had incurred
the displeasure of that grave and rever-
end body. the Florida Senate. The wire
bore this thrilling message as quietly as
it would have done the report of
the election of a Federal Senator. No
rolling thunder accompanied it-no up
heaval of the solid earth or the waters
beneath-no warning meteor trailed its
dazzling splendOr across the peaceful
heavens to prepare us for the shock !.
Never before has any paper of THE PA
LATKA News been refused 'indOrse-
ment''-and now we weep without COM
fort-the iron has entered our soul.
We had humbly tried to merit the
seigniors, and we are surprised that this
august body has not Endorsed and
approved" our earnest efforts. In what
have we failed? We We're quietly wear
ing away the faber when this charge
of dynamite struck us-henceforth we
shall sit in sackclOth and ashes and cry
peccari till all is blue.
Is the Senator insulted because We
said he supported Bloxham? We think
he might do better, but we stated a fact.
Is he angry because our correspondent
thought his reasons indefinite or his mo-
tive doubtful? We are prepared to
prove that all this is to be taken in a
sense strictly Pickwickian.
But like brother Graves, we must take
"a nights reflection" before we shall
know what to think. At present we be
lieve the Senate had become SO accus-
toned to censuring the Times Union
that it only brought us in by
way of making the balance even. Or
did the august body desire to- en-
rich it's journal with some gems
from the rich storehOuse of the Third
Estate? In the full belief that the bril-
liant thoughts transferred from our col
umns will make striking contrast to the
duh setting around them, we shall pos
sess our soul in peace till further notice

Drew and BlOxham

The letters between Drew and Biloxi
ham. published to-day. will throw much
light on the position assumed by these
two distinguished gentlemen who now
absorb so much public attention. That
the account of the interview published
In the Times Union was grossly incor-
rect, both gentlemen admit That this
was given the public by Bloxham is not
denied. That Drew had right to cor
rect this inaccuracy by similar state
ment is self-evident. That Bloxham
should then forsake the methods he had
himself chosen is, at least, passing
strange, and when Bloxham, the candi-
date, challenges a private citizen to a
public discussion-when the trained
orator proposes a duel with plain man
of business, whose public life is only
marked by exceptional common sense
and financial ability-then the rifle offers
battle to the bludgeon at long range.
There is another aspect of the case
which Is even more reprehensible and
cowardly. Bloxham evidently chafes
under legitimate criticism of his official
conduct, and, like c. III. Jones, he claims
the right, by rcdy OF counter charge, TO
enter the family circle and discredit his
opponent by holding up his private af-
fairs to the gaze of the world. We still
admire Bloxham's brilliant ability-we
appreciate most highly his past services.
But the personal record already made

How the dignified conduct of Gov.
Perry contrasts with the manners and
methods of his opponents. How the
massive personality of the man looms
up, like the figure of Achilles in the bat

shouts and groans .of the combatants,
drift wildly about the field. No fair at
tack can be made on him which will
dim the shine of his armor-the foul

his spotless shield-no word or move

All the deaths from the violence of
the elements in one year in Florida

destruction of human life through the
series of tornadOes which devastated
parts of Kansas, Missouri. Arkansas and
Texas, last Thursday evening. In some
places the surface of the earth seems to
have been literally swept clean of
